Coconut Oil for Skin:
Safe and Rejuvenating Skin Care
Since Time Immemorial

Effective skin care regimen


Using coconut oil for skin is risk-free and packed with short- and long-term benefits.

Long before it was discovered to have the power to kill the AIDS virus, coconut oil was already busy giving mankind beautiful skin and hair. That's right! Virgin coconut oil for hair is just as impressive.

Coconut Oil for SkinCoconut oil for skin care is chemical-free and loaded with rejuvenating Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT). It is nature's most abundant source of super antimicrobial Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA).

Sebaceous glands secrete bodily oil called sebum which keeps your skin from drying and cracking. Like coconut oil, sebum contains MCTs.

No wonder coconut massage oils are gaining popularity among massage therapists.

Your skin is home-sweet-home to countless microorganisms, mostly harmless and some even helpful. Lipophilic bacteria is one of the good guys because they break down MCTs into MCFAs.

MCTs don't show any antimicrobial effects. But when broken down into individual MCFAs, they have a mean antimicrobial punch that protects you from a wide variety of skin diseases. Let's just say they prefer going solo.

Topical is Best

Just apply a generous but not dripping amount of coconut oil on your face, neck, arms, chest, buttocks, thighs, legs and feet. Did I miss something? Relatively small MCFAs will enter your pores in no time to begin working its magic. First externally, then internally.

Simply use coconut oil soap for a more natural occurrence. This way, coconut oil for skin support could not have been more within your effortless reach.

Protection and Accelerated Healing

Do you love going out in the sun but hate getting painful sunburns? Try applying some of this humble oil and see for yourself.

The Polynesians are known for having beautiful unblemished skin even though they're always under the damaging rays of the sun. That's because they always use coconut oil on their bodies like a lotion, which is one of its oldest uses.

For quick and effective healing of cuts, wounds, burns and the like, I vigorously recommend the coconut oil bandage.

Coconut oil strengthens your skin's connective tissues, making it smooth and supple. Wondering if your skin is functionally younger or older than your biological or true age? Try this quick and easy skin elasticity test. You could be in for a surprise.

First Your Skin, THEN Your Entire Body

Using coconut oil is far more than skin deep. Once the skin is completely penetrated, MCFA-rich coconut oil will eventually reach your bloodstream and begin another phase of even more health-boosting activities.
